Tracker for Facebook (does it exist??)

All of the most popular posts at this website in terms of page-hits and comment activity all seem to be the "who has been looking at my Facebook" or "Is there a Tracker for Facebook?" posts/questions - this despite the fact that none of these posts have a definitive answer on whether or not a tracker for Facebook even exists! To make matters worse, we see news every day of new scams that claim to allow you to track who looks at your Facebook (for a price!) or that claim to be trackers for Facebook when all they really do is steal your private information - or worse.

So here is the lowdown on getting a tracker for your Facebook profile: As of this time, you cannot add a tracker of any kind to your Facebook page that will reliably track everyone that visits your profile

A few reasons why you can't put a reliable tracker on your Facebook:

Facebook filters (does not allow) HTML or JAVASCRIPT: This means that you simply cannot paste any 'tracker code' onto your page like you can with Myspace. Well.. you could, but Facebook would filter it out rendering it useless

Facebook Tracking apps don't work!: Well, actually, some of the Facebook tracking apps DO work as advertised - but what they dont mention up front is that the person you want to track also has to either install the same tracking app or "give permission" to allow the tracker app to access their Facebook info. Some people may just automatically hit "ok" without thinking about it, but many stalkers will not. This means that you have no reliable way to know if the tracker is tracking everyone

Most/Many Facebook trackers are just scams: Who'd a thunk it?! Many people are desperate to see who's looking at their Facebook and would more than gladly fork-over a few dollars - scammers are more than ready to help with this by taking their money and vanishing. Buyer beware!

There have been a few ways to get around some of the restrictions of Facebook's HTML and Javascript filters by installing certain apps, and pasting-in specific tracking code. However at the time of this writing, these apps have all been "fixed" by Facebook - meaning, they don't work anymore.

I have also seen (posted here, and at other websites) much "urban legend" about secret trackers for Facebook existing. "Facebook in England lets you track who looks at your profile", "I knew someone in Germany that had access to view everybody that looked at their page" .. or, the most popular: "I wrote a special program in Assembler Language that I run on my PC that tracks everyone that has visited my Facebook profile" .. Well.. much like the story of the lady that cooked herself in a tanning-booth, they are just that, stories (aka bulls&!T !!)

So for now, there simply is no tracker for your Facebook that is reliable enough to mention. If one pops-up, we will be the first let you know. In the meantime, feel free to stalk those ex boyfriends and ex girlfriends with immunity and don't give your money to any scammers!

Is there away for someone to know I was on their FaceBook even though I'm not friends with them in other words FaceBook stalk.
And yet I looked at their status updates, pics uploaded, comments left by others, etc. I heard they can tell when they check when they look at their people you may know because you show up on there if you have gone to their page a lot. Is this True?

I think what Mr "Tired" is so eloquently trying to say, is that on the page above, it plainly states, that so far, there is no reliable way to see who views your Facebook profile. It's actually printed, in bold above:

"As of this time, you cannot add a tracker of any kind to your Facebook page that will reliably track everyone that visits your profile"

So.. Nobody can tell you how to see who views your Facebook profile. Many (people or Facebook Apps) have made the claim that they can, but all have failed even the simplest of tests and 99.999% turn out to be scammers.
